About 2 weeks ago after sitting for about a month. I started the Jeep and noticed there was a pretty massive oil leak at the back of the engine between the pan and the Trans. I have rulled out the valve cover, Oil filter, and Distributer as the sorce of the leek, and It really does look to be coming from the RMS. My Question is this... Is it common for a RMS to fail so suddenly and drasticly?...

I've been thinking lately about painting on my jeep some. The rockers and bottom parts of the doors and the rear quarter panels have some surface rust. It's not exactly bad but it doesn't look the best. Is there anyway you can repair surface rust and actually make it look decent? I guess i'm just gonna bondo it and sand it down real good and smooth it out and i'm wanting to use spray-on ...

thats what mine did when they needed replaced

so i replaced both transmission cooler lines. i got them from NAPA but the only thing with them is that they didnt come with the quick disconnects so i took them out of the old lines. now the problem is is that the QD that i put back in the line that attaches to the radiator was messed up from taking it out of the old line so now it leaks. i went to the dealer and they said that i have...

I have a 1992 Xj with HO motor. My electric is not kicking and the temp was super high. I checked the tstat its good, I noticed that the Radiator Cap needed to be bled off i guess, once i did this alot of pressure was coming out, but the temp was pretty high. I checked the relay in the engine bay and it was appearing to work, i just removed the cap on the relay and jumped it over... Then ...

Look in the trusty Haynes Manual, couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

Comment on why you chose a fluid.

on a '90, the pump should only run for a couple seconds even if the switch was stuck in the "on" position. The ECU should only send a signal to the fuel pump relay for initial priming of the pump for about 3 seconds whether it's from you turning the lock cylinder or from a short in the switch. I'd hazard a guess that the wiring at the relay socket has corroded or melted and is causing a bypass of...

Well I need to clean the mud off my engine and I am hoping to not remove anything to do it as I'm not that knowledgable about engines and I don't want to take something off only to not be able to get it back on, or some such issue. So what's the best way to go about cleaning the mud off the engine without damaging anything electrical?

[quote=vortex;244104397]You would be better off wrapping the strap/chain around the bumper mounts on the frame (STILL WOULD NOT TRY THAT) just go out and buy some tow hooks before you go off road. -PJ-[/QUOTE NO, its not safer to do that. I've seen a front sway bar used in recovery (I stayed far back from that one). Avoid it by getting tow hooks.

That's pretty awesome, how big is the sub? 9 or 10 inches? It's cool that they used your pics... haha

so im pretty sure my nss is shot and that is why my jeep isnt starting, i was t old i can bypass it by attaching a couple wires together can some please explain this more clearly to me? which wires do i put together asthere are a few going from the nss to the plug? also are there any cons to doing this?

So I bought a parts XJ since my XJ threw a rod through the block. The guys said the trans just stopped pulling one day. So i check the fluid: fine. I've already pulled both motors and trans from each XJ. I though it might be a bad torque convertor. What can i do to figure out if it's a bad torque convertor or a locked up trans? Also what would i be looking at to use my 2wd trans to convert it? (...

I've checked all the forums on here but I haven't gotten very far with anyones advice. So got a no bus on the odometer, no speedo no tach, won't shift and airbag light is on. I've checked the CPS, NSS, the TCM and bought a junkyard one and tried that, next I'm having a buddy over to try out his IC and PCM outta his 00' i've cleaned the terminals (haven't used the dielectric grease) ...
